“…For (the incompatibility of) these two kinds of thought in Celtis see Jaumann 1999. 48 For this project, to which the Germania generalis also belonged, see Collins 2012 andCeltis 2001, 441-483. 49 That said, it is equally important to realize that a large part of what we nowadays consider medieval was actually regarded ancient by the humanists, as explained in Enenkel and Ottenheym 2017, 76-88.…”

The Renaissance Battle for Rome

The Renaissance Battle for Rome examines the rhetorical battle fought simultaneously between a wide variety of parties (individuals, groups, authorities) seeking prestige or legitimacy through the legacy of ancient Rome—a battle over the question of whose claims to this legacy were most legitimate. Distinguishing four domains—power, morality, cityscape, and literature—in which ancient Rome represented a particularly powerful example, this book traces the contours of this rhetorical battle across Renaissance Europe, based on a broad selection of humanist Latin poetry. It shows how humanist poets negotiated different claims on behalf of others and themselves in their work, acting both as “spin doctors” and “new Romans,” while also undermining competing claims to this same idealized past. By so doing this book not only offers a new understanding of several aspects of the Renaissance that are usually considered separately, but ultimately it allows us to understand Renaissance culture as a constant negotiation between appropriating and contesting the idea and ideal of “Rome.”
